Throw in the older NWA 757's and 320's that are on the chopping block. You are left with some 319/320's, 75's, and a handfull of 330's. This merger probably saved your job longterm. You have been a 747 captain forever and you get an extra 5 years at the top thanks to age 65 at my expense. You are on a fenced fleet so you are still like your own airline. When you get displaced, you are going to go to the 777 which pays exactly the same. You come off as a selfish prick on here. Your pension was frozen and you have been hitting government limits adding to your 401k the last 5 years. Every year you get 270 hours of sick leave which is almost a third of what you lost. We are tired of hearing your sob story. You had a career that most of us can only dream about and it is nothing you did. You are no more experienced or a better pilot than any pilot here. Just lucky. Understand your audience. To me it's like walking out of a steakhouse and *****ing about it in front of a homeless guy that hasn't eaten in a week.

Hockey, if Carl was as selfish as you paint him, he would not be wasting his time here trying to better our profession. I'm pretty sure he could coast out and be just fine. My read is that he's trying to make this a better profession for all seniority levels, even the guys who haven't been hired. I find that he's holding the company and especially "our" "union" accountable for their actions and inactions.
We need fewer guys pretending the emperor is magnificently clothed, and more guys pointing out that the emperor is, in fact, buck naked. For crying out loud, the last 3 guys I flew with had no idea the company was in blatant violation of AFKLM scope.
We need more Carls.
